Antique Wool Multicolor Jewel Tones Hooked - Loop Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional American hooked rug captures the spirit of early 20th-century folk art, showcasing a robust, textural loop pile construction. As a testament to the enduring appeal of handcrafted textiles, this piece stands among the finest examples of antique rugs from the period.

The design is a sophisticated iteration of the patchwork aesthetic, utilizing a strict grid of squares framed by a deep indigo ground. Each block features a complex, quartered composition, with solid centers complemented by striped, pieced corners, creating a dynamic visual rhythm across the entire field. This structured, repeating format classifies the piece as a striking example of allover rugs.

Executed in thick, durable wool, the texture is tactile and inviting, characteristic of high-quality domestic production. The palette is particularly noteworthy, featuring a vibrant array of saturated hues—crimson, moss green, ochre, and slate—all set against the dominant dark blue. This rich complexity defines it as a quintessential example of multicolor jewel tone rugs.

Dating to the 1920s, this rug reflects the era's fascination with traditional American craft and utility design. Its dense structure and striking pattern make it ideal for adding a concentrated burst of color and texture to a specific area, perfectly serving the purpose of small scatter size rugs (2.07ft x 3.03ft).
